About Last Christmas is a Charming Romantic Read

 


Rachel Scott McDaniel's books have been on my TBR pile for a while. After reading About Last Christmas, I want to read more books by this author.  

Greta Carlton is a caretaker for her grandmother and is content running her antique shop in the charming town of Silver Creek. 

She meets Leo, a handsome stranger during the Christmas festival, and they share a memorable and romantic evening causing her to believe in the movie-style romance. They agree to meet, and she is stood up leaving her wondering if it was all too good to be true.   

Greta was a unique heroine. I liked that she appreciated vintage/antique things but was also an expert in her field. I loved her care of others and her generous heart. 

The romance between Greta and Leo is a sweet, Hallmark-style romance that readers expect from rom-coms, but there was more depth than I was expecting for a holiday rom-com. This was an unexpected delight. 

One aspect I loved About Last Christmas was the author's humor. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments in this story. 

I'd rate About Last Christmas 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. The ending felt a little rushed, but overall, it was a charming, heartwarming holiday read that left me smiling long after I closed the book. 


Reading is an adventure,
